Defendant can't depict slain dancer as violent
A Nevada judge told defense lawyers they won't be able to depict the slain ex-girlfriend of a former Cirque du Soleil dancer as a serial stalker with a history of violence.

Clark County District Judge Kathleen Delaney ruled last week that Jason Omar Griffith's lawyers can't tell a jury about claims that 31-year-old dancer Debora Flores Narvaez stalked and harassed other ex-boyfriends before her strangulation and dismemberment death in December 2010.

Jury selection begins in Vegas dancer murder case

Jury selection began Monday for a man accused of killing and dismembering his Las Vegas Strip performer girlfriend more than three years ago.

Jason "Blu" Griffith, 35, is accused in the death of Debbie Flores Narvaez, who police say went missing in December 2010 and whose body was later found in a tub of cement.

According to authorities, Narvaez, 31, went missing after she was last seen heading to Griffith's home to watch television.

Homicide detective: Defendant lied when questioned about missing dancer

Ten days after Debbie Flores Narvaez went missing, Jason “Blu” Griffith lied to and tried to mislead Las Vegas homicide detectives about where the Fantasy dancer was, according to testimony at his ongoing murder trial Friday.

In a 90-minute interview with detective Dan Long on Dec. 22, 2010, Griffith, an ex-Cirque du Soleil performer, described two other men she had relationships with who may have wanted to hurt her and lied about only having a brief conversation with her on Dec. 12 before he said she drove off, never to be heard from again.

In the recorded interview, which was played for the jury, Griffith said Flores Narvaez, then 31, was suicidal because their relationship was ending and suggested detectives search for her at an overpass at Windmill Lane and the 215 Beltway.

Jason Omar Griffith Says He Killed Girlfriend In Self-Defense

A Las Vegas Strip dancer testified Wednesday that he made multiple 911 calls, but police didn't take seriously his complaints that he was being harassed and sometimes attacked by the ex-girlfriend he's charged with killing and dismembering in December 2010.

Jason Omar Griffith, 35, took the witness stand in his defense after two other witnesses, a former boyfriend from Maryland and his best friend testified that Deborah Flores Narvaez demonstrated a violent streak before she met Griffith.

Griffith, then a dancer in the Cirque du Soleil show "Love," testified that Flores, a performer the Luxor hotel-casino's "Fantasy" revue, quickly became "clingy" and sometimes physically combative after they became intimate in early 2010.

Flores, then 30, wanted a closer relationship than he did, Griffith said, and she insisted that he pay attention to her. Flores sometimes called and texted him dozens of times a day, Griffith said.
 
she sounds like a ''handful'' but.....no excuse
 
They sure make her sound like a handful, I don't believe them. I especially don't believe "Blu" when he says she was the one that was to clingy. She was the one found in a tub filled with cement. I think he was very controlling.

and in the article it said this...

Sims said the victim's limbs had been amputated subsequent to her death, while jurors saw pictures of her body.

OMG! I had no idea...

All my opinion only...
 
I haven't seen evidence of him filing an order of protection which is what he should have done (MOO).....if he was really being stalked etc. Even if he felt that LE was not taking him seriously, he could have still filed for an order of protection. Even if it was quashed by a judge, the fact that he filed would have discouraged further contact and if she persisted he would have had more evidence for filing another o/p

He's an abuser screaming abuse ((pretty typical isn't it "".....it's all her fault she started it...)

I couldn't figure out why it was taking so long for a verdict and now I am curious about the sentence he will receive.

I'm thinking they were trying to decide of which degree he was guilty. I think the possibilities were 1st degree, 2nd degree and manslaughter. I believe they made the right choice. I haven't heard anything yet about the possible sentence or when it will happen.
